I’ve noticed I’m making lots of little mistakes in my writing recently. They’re not major – an in for an on, a misspelt term here or there, a capiTal letter where it shouldn’t be, etc – but they’re annoying me.

Firstly, the fact I’m making these errors. I can pin it down to one thing – my recent eye surgery – and I’m getting used to seeing things differently. I knew it might take a few days but it’s taking longer than I anticipated.

Secondly, I think it might be that I’m trying to rush things. I’ve mentioned before that editing takes as long as writing these posts and I’d forgotten that fact. Saving time by not-re-reading posts isn’t a saving but a lack of investment.*

For me, the answer is to slow down a bit and take a little more time. If I worked in your business, is that the way your L&D function would approach it?
